Cornas - Domaine Auguste Clape 2022
The estate
Domaine Auguste Clape, a prestigious estate in Cornas, in the Northern Rhône, is famous for its Syrah wines. Founded by Auguste Clape's grandfather, the estate produces robust and complex wines, known for their notes of red and black fruits, game, and flowers. The estate's commitment to traditional winemaking has made it a reference in the region.
The Cornas from Domaine Clape is the absolute reference of the appellation. This traditional, elegant, and long wine offers a magnificent expression of Syrah, aged here for 22 months in barrels and demi-muids without the use of new wood. The Cornas from Clape is a blend of five to six cuvées from old vines (notably Reynard and Sabarotte). A confidential production that has become a great wine for enthusiasts!

Tasting: tasting this very powerful and concentrated Cornas is like listening to a piece of organ music when the bass comes in. It is very fleshy. A profusion of blackberry aromas unfolds as it aerates in the glass. It offers enough fruit and body to envelop the imposing heart of beautifully crafted tannins. The deep and resonant notes linger long in a captivating finish. It can be enjoyed now, but it will be at its peak starting in 2027. |
